Wow this plugin does exactly what I needed. I wanted something to use on my CMS pages since I have many images. I was able to use the Global JS include and initialization without fail. Great plugin, get this if you need lightbox functionality for your site. (Posted on 3/10/2015)

This is a great extension! Install went good, just need to flush all your caches and logout / login after installation to avoid the page not found error in the configuration. Handles the images way better than the magento default setup. (Posted on 1/2/2015)

Please ignore the nay sayers here You must do it in this order or it will cause your system config page to white screen.... as the author wrote before: Turn off compilation, empty cache, install plugin, login, kill cache, logout, login, configure ... like every plugin .... it works every time.

I think this is a great extension but needs a more views adjustment option, i spent many hours trying to get more views to be horizontal rather than vertical. Can anyone please show me how this is done???? (Posted on 9/29/2013)

Great module, love that you can turn off jQuery, so it will work with a theme that already uses it, also does not include it EVERYWHERE, so a theme that just uses jquery on the main page will not break. (Posted on 6/1/2013)

I would surely recommend this one because it is easy to install and works great with all it's features.<br />Only reason i'm not giving 5 stars is that there is not any option of changing the size of overlay images in prettybox and no option for changing the position of overlay images.

Lightbox used to work perfect. Today I was adding some products and found out is not working anymore. Tried to uninstall and re installed and still doesn't work. Any ideas... I think I might have some problems with j-query since I tried to install similar products with no luck.<br />Besides this extension I have installed in the past:<br />advancedcompare from ET,<br />googleplusone.<br />facebook store application. (Posted on 3/1/2013)

Thanks for the brilliant extension.<br />I installed it following attentively the installation steps and now is working in all known browsers, even IE8. I did not modified any code.<br />I presume that "extended" mean that Pirobx can be used also in other circumstances than for product images. All my products have a technical sheet (PDF). For the moment, at the end of "description", I added a little icon (adobe icon) linked to the PDF file. Visitors can click on the icon and PDF file open into a new browser window. From there the file can be downloaded like PDF file.<br />Is possible to open the PDF file in a lightbox (Pirobox) similar with the one for product image, to have there scroll-bars (sometimes PDF has much more than one page) and to be possible to download from there the file like PDF file?<br />How to do it?<br />Thanks a lot for this wonderful extension. (Posted on 3/5/2012)

Great Extension... many options...<br />working fine on MAGENTO CE 1.6.2.0<br />Don't forget to logout after installation process... if don't logot you will see on the config. site the Erorr 404 page.. (Posted on 2/29/2012)

You're the Man!!!!...<br />Somehow, it was not working for me through Magneto Connect. I direct downloaded the whole stuff from freeganto and put in respective folders.<br />I could not believe my luck when it worked first time right. Superb!!!!<br />I can't thank you much for this extension. (Posted on 2/11/2012)

This extension is great, however even after reading all of the tips on how to get it to work in IE, I still cannot get it to work - with IE, Chrome amp; Safari. The images open up in new tabs instead of generating the lightbox (tried using Fancy, Piro and clone). I copied the files into my theme and changed the JQuery script line in jquery_inclusion.phtml and still not working. I noticed there's mention of "You must use the CDN inclusion option of jQuery" but where is that in the admin? Please help, thanks! Would love to use this extension when I launch my clients' site.

Works brilliantly in 1.6.1.0! Thanks for a great module, only had to move the directories you specified on the overview page, and no other changes were required, works brilliantly! (Posted on 1/2/2012)

Looks like it would be nice unfortunately it seems this Extension will not work with Galathemes. I wrote the MagePsycho organization last week and unfortunately received no reply with my troubles. Have to move on I guess. (Posted on 12/13/2011)

As others have said. This worked right out of the box. I had 1 issue where I needed to logout and log back in for the menus to work right in the administration. However I think this is a pretty common thing since so many things are cached for performance in Magento. Install version 1.6.1 when I emailed for support I got a prompt reply and was resolved in minutes. It's a must have extension. (Posted on 11/10/2011)

Using 1.5.1, works beautiful on all non IE browsers. When using IE 9 on the initial page load up it causes the product description tab to jump up on its own about mid page. If I refresh the page or click the tab it refreshes to a good look. It could be my end conflicting but not sure. I never use IE but sadly the boss does. I'd be greatful for any help to get this to work. (Posted on 11/10/2011)

This extension is so beautiful, thanks man.<br />But seems really dont runs on ABSOLUTE THEME. Some guy have success on this theme?<br />I have make every step to make it - cache clear, folders copy and call for God. Thanks from Brazil. (Posted on 10/22/2011)

I love u guys . After 3 days of code frustration and endless web tutorials wiith millions useless steps I managed to install this module very fast and easy on a custom theme using Magento 1.6.
Looking awsome .. me happy now :) (Posted on 10/20/2011)

(Magento 1.6.0) very easy to install and operate - right out of the box! THat would be great if it could pick up the base image as well if it is excluded from the gallery.
Anyway it operates perfectly, Tech support is also perfect. Not all commercial applications will be supported this way. Thank you guys!!!! (Posted on 10/14/2011)

Working fine but I was wondering two things, though :<br />Is there a way to keep default image size instead of giving one for all (product images)<br />Is is possible to set a custom image size when using it on a CMS page ?<br />Tried to add width and height in tag but it doesn't seem to be working.. (Posted on 9/27/2011)

I did install using extention key , I refreshed cache , logged out , log in , On site product image for product page does not show and in admin/config/-config page is blank , I did uninstall and everything works fine again but I really want light box on site . I appreciate any help <br />I am using magento 1.5.1 (Posted on 9/5/2011)

One of the best Magento extensions. Works without any effort other than for you to install and configure. Its actually a 3-in-1 extension giving you much options and flexibility at a price of nothing! Great work by the developers! This by the way is the first free extension I would take time to commend. (Posted on 8/28/2011)

Hi<br />I have tried installing this extension and it seems to go smoothly, but there are no MagePsycho options in the Systemgt;Configuration menu. I have tried logging out and back in, and reinstalling the extension. I can see the xml files in app/design/frontend/default/default/layout, so it has at least partially worked. I'm sure I must be missing something really obvious. Any ideas? (Posted on 8/3/2011)

I have two sites on 1.5.0.1... the first site it worked fine, the second site it just opens the images on a new page by itself, and you have to press back on the browser to return... I can't imagine why this would happen... No other extensions are installed on either site. (Posted on 7/18/2011)

I'm using the excellent Lightboxes extension for my pictures. However if I install the FreeQuickContact extension it somehow overrides the javascript and after that if I click any of the pictures they open into a new browser window. (Posted on 4/25/2011)
